Roald Dahls The Twits was first published in 1980. It tells the tale of a pair of horrible twits and the tricks they like to play on each other.

Mr Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.

Mrs Twit... had a quite nice face when she was young. The ugliness had grown upon her year by year as she got older.

Muggle-Wump is most at home eating nuts in the African jungle he lives in - but he also falls foul of the horrible Twits...

Then one day, a truly magnificent bird flew down out of the sky and landed on the monkey cage.
